Still impressed with it.

I was sitting at a stop light saturday night and had a brand new 4 door powerstroke sitting on my left side. While we were sitting there a wreak took place but I couldn't see it cause the powerstroke was in my way, so the light turned green and I gave the ol mj some gas to get ahead of the powerstroke so i could see the wreak. The next thing I heard was the turbo kick in on the Ford and him downshift, so steped into the the gas a little more untill I had it floored, and so did he, we ran neck to neck for a bit then I started pulling away from the Ford untill I was a car length away before the Ford guy ever let up. we were running 65 by this time. Even with the crappy combo of Auto/3.55/and 31" tires,it still put a big smile on my face when I out ran the Brand new Ford :D

[freakjeep93]

nice that just proves that the 4.0 is the most awesome engine ever

[mvusse]

Never mind the fact that Ford weighs twice as much as your MJ.

[terrawombat]

So you initiated a drag race with another vehicle in order to get a good look at a car wreck?

 

Some people never cease to amaze me.

[MjAllTheWay]

I have a powerstroke myself and i have my Comanche with 3.55 gears and 31s but I'm guna have to say my 7.3 powerstroke could kick the MJ all day All night and anytime ever.

someone please pass the popcorn :popcorn:

:agree:

 

my brother has a 7.3L and my inlaws have the 6.0L,either one will walk all over my 4.0L XJ and both the 7.3L or 6.0L would get spanked by a brand new one

[MjAllTheWay]

Not trying to start nothing jest saying if it was a 6.0 or 6.4 powerstroke i couldn't see even a MJ with 4.10 gears with 31s being able to beat a Powerstroke.

Back in 1994 driving a GMC 3500HD dump truck with a Vortec 454 and 5 speed stick I blew away a Ford Escort with a body kit that was trying to show off.

 

Imagine that, an ESCORT.

 

With a BODY KIT!

:rotf:

[dasbulliwagen]

Its OK lenard, I believe you! Good job, and keep it up!

[jpdocdave]

so what if the powerstroke was pulling a 28 ft trailer :yes: :popcorn:

[kro10000]

My MJ got dominated by a Duramax :(

However it does outrun my buddies riced tracer, and my other friends 1981 Camaro Z-28 :banana:

I got one of them,although you would have a hard time finding a dump truck that will keep up with it. :cheers:

My daily driver is a 6.0 powerstroke, say what u will about them, but it gets up and goes. I also have a comanche w/ 3:55's, and all Ill say about this topic is that theres just no way my comanche would pull on my diesel. I mean no way. At all. Ever. Period.

 

 

It seems :nuts: but good kill !!

[landlubber]

I've beaten and F150 with a 4.6 pretty badly before, that being said, my dad has a F250 that hauls when you really lay into it

[jimoshel]

My MJ drives circles around my Caddy. One of these days I'll get it off the jack stands and then we'll see.

1968 DeVille 520CI Turbo charged

1988 MJ, 2.5, NA, 5spd

[Automan2164]

TURBOCHARGED 520CI?!?!!?!

 

Yowza. :eek:

[pilotblake]

I have a 6.0 F250. For the size of the vehicle you are moving it still makes me smile. Plus with the exhaust and loud turbo whine, you can't beat it. I am an aviation guy so maybe that makes a difference.

I had an 05 F150 4X4 with the 4.6L,nice truck but it was pretty gutless,my brother had a 93 YJ at the time that would run away from it. actually his 4cyl 05 Tacoma on stock gears and 35s was a pretty good race for it.

was the z28 misfiring, and running on 4 flat tires? :rotfl2:

[kro10000]

Nope, its got an all stock (besides header and intake) rebuilt motor with less than 10k, against my tired 200000k MJ on 31s with 3.07s

[Lenard]

Never mind the fact that Ford weighs twice as much as your MJ.

never mind the fact that he has a Diesel and a $#!& ton more horse power.

No i tried to get to see it, he's the one that wanted to race, so why not?

try reading it again, I said BRAND NEW Ford. they don't put the 7.3L

in BRAND NEW Fords. :fool: (wish they still did though)

Somethings not right with those specs. A turbo diesel can get to 60 way faster than 9 seconds. My 91 accord with 300000 miles can beat that.
